OK, so this is the deal. AFS is losing their building, mainly cuz AFS cannot pay rent. You noticed we were out of foil blades when you came in? That is pretty basic. Anyway, boss is moving business to Pacifica (where he lives). He is talking about getting a storefront, but I have no idea how he can afford that, even without having to pay me. I don't think he does, either. Not my problem, however.
Scene shifts to one year ago. I'm talking with a friend and former roommate/teammate/coworker (at AFS) about the steep decline, and he asked if I thought the boss would sell the bidness. I said he'd be a fool not to, since running the biz ain't his strong suit. I put them together to talk and said a prayer or three. Well, boss seems interested, then a few weeks later changes his mind and doesn't follow through. This is not the first time this has happened. My friend had asked me if I thought the biz was viable, and I said "yes".
So, we started working on a bidness plan...
Right now, we are looking at a storefront in Millbrae (easy BART/Caltrain and freeway access...). We'll do brick-and-mortar and interweb sales. We have just this week signed the incorporation papers and got the bank accounts set up. I start ordering inventory this week. My last day at AFS will be September 30th. Boss still doesn't know. I need him to sign a paper acknowledging the $7k debt that he still owes me. I'll tell him afterwards.
Victory Fencing Gear. Look for it soon!
